Our
Vision
How We
Do It
-
Hart Program: The core of our services is our HART (Housing At-Risk Transgender People) program. This program provides comprehensive case management and resources to overcome obstacles in accessing housing for our clients. These individualized treatment plans are tailored to the needs of each of our clients.
-
Stable Housing: We have an impressive success rate in transitioning our unhoused clients to permanent, supportive housing. This stable foundation allows them to focus on the next steps in their journey.
-
Holistic Wellness: We go beyond housing by providing a safe, gender-affirming environment with access to critical support services. This includes referrals for physical & mental healthcare, educational & vocational opportunities, and support groups for TLGBQ indiviudals. Our members are empowered to address their physical and mental well-being while developing the skills they need to achieve their goals.
-
Empowerment & Self-Sufficiency: We support self-sufficiency by connecting members with educational services including GED Prep and financial aid for training programs. Through this we equip our clients with the tools to achieve financial independence and build a secure future.
-
Community & Belonging: Princess Janae Place provides a strong sense of community. Through support groups, workshops, and social events, members build a network of peers who offer understanding, encouragement, and a sense of belonging. This supportive environment is crucial for mental and emotional well-being.
-
Gender Affirmation: We recognize the importance of gender affirmation in a person's overall well-being. We offer referrals to medical professionals specializing in transgender health care, including gender-affirming surgery.
-
Community Education and Advocacy: We help to spread knowledge wherever possible to ensure that people have the tools necessary to protect our TLGBQ community and beyond. This includes gender sensitivity & cultural humility trainings as well as advocacy events all over NYC.
